    Paid off my matte black 128GB 7+ a few weeks ago with T-Mobile and got it unlocked. Went from monthly bill being $94 to now $64 since no more monthly device fee. I'm on the T-Mobile one unlimited everything plan with auto pay.

    Seriously I'm in no rush of upgrading to a Iphone X or whatever they come out with this year.

    Any truth to this? My girl went into T-Mobile to get the X. Sales rep advised her to get the 8+ instead, because Apple was set to discontinue to the X.

    Not true :lol:

    They aren’t discontinuing it, they are slowing down production though since soon enough they’ll be producing new phones for the fall

    Wifey's bday is next week and she's going to upgrade from her 6.

    She wants the 8- but the cell phone companies don't do the 2 year contracts anymore, right?

    i was trying to tell her they don't, and she was so adamant that they still do that she got me second guessing myself... LOL

    So then the T-Mobile rep was nice enough to save her $? She had said it was being discontinued and there isn't much of a difference in the 8+ anyway.

    T-Mobile probably has a surplus of the 8 and 8+ since the X was already limited.

    Why would you purchase a completely different product instead though? If the discontinuation rumors are true, just because they're discontinuing production doesn't change the fact that it's a superior device (in certain aspects). If I preferred the X's form factor, features, etc over the 8+, just because it's being discontinued wouldn't make me not purchase it. Waiting to purchase the new iteration, maybe. But to buy a completely different product just doesn't make sense to me. It's not like Apple is gonna stop supporting it or remove the app store from it or something :lol:.

    While she upgrades her phone, upgrade your gf lol jk

    But no, no more 2-year contracts, the only phantom contract is installment payments on the device if you go that route

    Cracked the back of my X on Monday. Didn't want them to just swap out the back glass so I made sure the phone would be completely replaced. :wink:

    Went in Apple on Tuesday morning and swapped it out for $99. They said that the back glass is all one piece and if it breaks the whole phone needs replacing. Also if I didn't have AppleCare it would've cost me over $500 to replace.

    Still going #TeamRaw but just be advised how important AppleCare or insurance is.

    I phones will all ways be a good puechase,

    You just gotta figure if your willing to be in the ios ecosystem and if apple services appeal to your needs.

    I switch between ios and android all the time. They both have the strength and weaknesses, but both arent perfect.

    IPhone x for sure.

    I have no complaints with the X. Solid phone, no software issues (I haven’t done any updates). I’m all apple for the most part and this phone works seamlessly with my needs.

    Anyone facing an issue where iMessages are sending/being received out of order? I did for a while, it seemed to have gone away, and now it's back. Super annoying. I've tried a hard restart but nothing.
